The document discusses the field of engineering psychology and human factors. It provides an overview of the history and goals of the field, which aims to optimize interactions between humans and machines by considering human abilities and limitations in design. Some key topics covered include time-motion studies, principles of workspace and control design, and types of visual, auditory, and tactile displays. The overall purpose of engineering psychology is to apply psychological knowledge to improve safety, performance and satisfaction in person-machine systems.
Human factors is the study of interactions between humans and other elements of a system. It aims to optimize human well-being and system performance. Some key points made in the document include:
- Human factors principles can help reduce errors and improve safety, particularly in aviation where over 80% of accidents are related to human factors.
- Examples of human factors principles applied successfully include center high-mounted stop lights, improved call center displays, and shuttle cockpit design.
- Fatigue, stress, poor communication and teamwork can negatively impact human performance if not addressed through good system design.
- While human factors seems like common sense, not all designers properly apply principles to account for human capabilities and limitations.
The document discusses key aspects of human factors engineering and usability design. It describes a hierarchy of human activity from job operations down to task elements. It also covers personnel factors like anthropometrics, sensory and physiological characteristics. Methods of human factors analysis are outlined, including operator task analysis, operational sequence diagrams, error analysis, and safety/hazard analysis. Mockups and personnel/training requirements are also summarized.

This chapter examines human factors and incidents in terms of human error. It discusses Murphy's Law and how even experienced individuals can make errors. Approximately 70% of aircraft accidents are attributable to human performance. The Aloha Flight 243 incident in 1988 involved structural failure due to undetected cracks, highlighting issues with aircraft inspections. The BA 5390 incident in 1990 involved a windscreen blow out due to incorrect replacement bolts, with contributing human factors including poor lighting and failure to wear glasses. Subsequent chapters will discuss human performance limitations and identify areas of vulnerability to help prevent errors.
The document discusses ergonomics in industrial engineering. It defines ergonomics as applying various sciences to understand interactions between humans and their working environments. The main goals of ergonomics are to design tasks, equipment, information and environments suited to each worker, which increases productivity by reducing fatigue, accidents, absenteeism and turnover. It then discusses factors that affect ergonomics like age, materials handling, stress, and load. It also covers areas of ergonomic intervention like human-machine interfaces, environment, hardware, and work postures.
This document provides an overview of ergonomics and conducting ergonomic assessments. It begins by outlining the course objectives which are to understand the influences of the work environment, the connection between work activities and repetitive strain, and methods to identify hazards and involve workers. It then briefly discusses the history and definition of ergonomics. The remainder covers components of work, common risk factors, terminology, injuries, the evaluation process, analysis methods like the NIOSH lifting equation, and assessing office workstations. The goal is to leave participants understanding how to analyze jobs for risk factors and make improvements.
This document provides guidance on health and safety regulations for working with computers. It summarizes that employers must conduct risk assessments of workstations and consider equipment, furniture, environment, tasks and individual needs. It also outlines minimum standards for displays, keyboards, work surfaces, chairs and work environments. Users have rights to eye tests and basic spectacles if needed for computer work. Laptop users should have workstations assessed and take breaks to avoid ergonomic issues. Advice is available from ATL on health and safety matters relating to computer use.
The document discusses human factors engineering approaches to optimize human performance and minimize failures when interacting with distributed energy resources (DERs) such as home solar and electric vehicles. It describes studying how people interact with technologies, processes, environments, and other people. The goal is to narrow "gulfs of evaluation and execution" by understanding cognitive limitations and biases, and designing intuitive interfaces. It also stresses expecting human errors and designing to prevent or mitigate them, for example through redundancy, checklists, and training. The key is changing the conditions people operate in, not changing human nature itself.

A first-principle approach to designing automotive interfaces and user experience.
Presentation & workshop conducted at DEW2014, IIITDM Jabalpur on 8th December 2014.
Engineering psychology emerged to address issues caused by poor human-centered design. Prior to WWII, machines were designed without considering human factors, resulting in accidents from controls that did not match human abilities and expectations. Three Mile Island and other accidents showed the consequences of poor control design. Human factors research now aims to design safer, more usable systems through empirical studies of anthropometry, time-motion efficiency, and cognitive processes. By applying ergonomics to fit jobs and workplaces to human needs, productivity can increase up to 12% while reducing injury risks from issues like repetition, forceful exertions, awkward postures, and more.
Engineering psychology emerged to address issues caused by poor human-machine integration. Prior to WWII, machines were designed without considering human factors, resulting in accidents from inconsistent controls. After WWII, human factors research led to safer designs for vehicles, equipment and workplaces by accounting for human abilities and limitations. Today, ergonomics draws from multiple disciplines to optimize human performance and prevent injuries by designing interfaces, tools and work environments suited to human anthropometry, cognition and physical capabilities. Proper ergonomic design can increase productivity while reducing musculoskeletal disorders and improving worker satisfaction.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (DS) are shaping the future of aviation and space industries. For example, using AI and DS in prognostics and health management can make a paradigm shift in system reliability and availability as well as improve mission safety. We will talk about how AI and DS improve complex engineering systems’ prognostics and change the maintenance strategy from fail and fix to predict and prevent. In addition, we will understand how data-driven prognostics can be seen as a forecast application from AI and DS perspective. We will discover how AI and DS are involved in remaining useful life estimation of complex engineering systems. This enables safe deep space exploration and developing highly reliable systems without having to design systems with many redundant components.
The document discusses several topics related to human-computer interaction and user interface design:
1) It describes different models of how users, programmers, and designers conceptualize software and user interfaces. Key models discussed include the user's mental model, programmer's model, and designer's model.
2) It discusses the importance of understanding users, their tasks, experiences, and expectations when designing interfaces. Techniques like metaphors and analogies can help bridge the gap between a user's mental model and an unfamiliar software system.
3) Usability, learnability, and providing a quality user experience are important design goals. Both subjective and objective metrics are needed to evaluate interfaces. The document provides an overview of many factors

INDUSTRIAL human SAFETY and ACCIDENT .pptxbandhujiban
The document discusses human factors that contribute to accidents and injuries. It notes that accidents are usually caused by multiple interacting factors rather than single causes. It provides statistics on accidental deaths and costs in the US. Common causes of workplace injuries are then outlined. The document reviews the history of safety legislation and organizations like OSHA that were established to regulate safety standards. It discusses theories of accident causation, like the systems model, and categorizes types of human error. Prevention strategies aim to reduce errors through better task, equipment, and system designs.
This document discusses office ergonomics and the components of an ergonomic workstation. It provides a brief history of office ergonomics, noting that issues like musculoskeletal pain were initially dismissed but are now better understood. The basic principles of office ergonomics aim for neutral body positions and less physical strain. Key components of an ergonomic workstation discussed include the monitor, computer, software, keyboard, chair, desk, mouse, and additional resources. Poor ergonomics can negatively impact health through injuries over time from static positions or repetitive motions.
Technology is automating many jobs and replacing human labor. While this increases efficiency and profits, it also eliminates some jobs, especially lower-skilled positions. It creates a need for new highly-skilled technical jobs, but many displaced workers may struggle to retrain. The effects are a growing divide between highly-skilled workers who benefit from new opportunities, and others who face unemployment or an urgent need to gain new technical skills.
This document summarizes a presentation on user experience design for embedded devices. The presentation covered several topics:
1. It began with introductions of the presenter and their company, Integrated Computer Solutions, which provides UX consulting services.
2. The presenter then told a story from 1979 to illustrate issues with usability and user-centered design in complex systems like nuclear power plant control rooms.
3. The rest of the presentation covered user personas, scenarios, information architecture, design principles, and prototyping techniques for mobile and embedded applications. Workshops were included to have attendees practice applying these concepts.
This document discusses human factors and their importance in the aviation industry. It examines the relationship between human factors and incidents caused by human error, looking at perceptual, physical, and mental human capabilities and how they interact with an individual's job and environment. The document also discusses how equipment and system design, as well as organizational characteristics, can influence safety-related behavior at work. It notes that human factors researchers study system performance, how maintenance personnel interact with equipment, procedures and rules followed, and environmental conditions to optimize the relationship between people and systems and improve safety, efficiency and well-being. The SHEL model is also referenced as a way to understand these interactions.
This document discusses workplace stress and stress management. It describes stress as physiological and psychological responses to unpleasant stimulation or threatening events. Prolonged stress can lead to physical and mental health issues. The document outlines various stressors in the workplace like work overload, organizational change, and role ambiguity. It also discusses individual differences in stress responses and effective stress management programs and strategies.
This document discusses physical and temporal working conditions and their impact on employee satisfaction, productivity and absenteeism.

This study examined career indecision among 397 managers and professionals at a large bank. The researchers developed a measure of career indecision and tested a model of its sources and outcomes. Through a factor analysis, they identified seven potential sources of career indecision. The model proposed that work/life experience, trait anxiety, and career assistance from the employer would indirectly influence career indecision through their effects on its sources. Sources like lack of self-knowledge were expected to directly impact career indecision status. Potential outcomes included negative work attitudes, life stress, and intentions to explore career options further. The study aimed to advance understanding of career indecision among employed adults versus student populations.
This document provides a proposal for a stress management group for single parents. It will focus on cognitive thinking, stress coping skills, and building a mutual support network. The number of single parents in Hong Kong has increased significantly in recent decades. Single parents face many stressors related to finances, parenting responsibilities, and emotional well-being after becoming a single parent. The group aims to help members reduce stress and improve their quality of life by learning skills like cognitive restructuring based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles.
This document discusses defining and measuring the trait of superstition. It begins by reviewing different definitions of superstition in the literature and outlines the goals of developing a clear definition and measurement scale. An exploratory qualitative study led the researchers to define superstition as unfounded half-beliefs that certain events or objects can bring good or bad luck. Several data collections were then used to develop a 27-item, 5-dimension scale to measure superstition. The scale dimensions are popular beliefs about good and bad fortune, belief in destiny, magical thinking, and defensive pessimism.
The Motivational Structure Questionnaire (MSQ) identifies problem drinkers' maladaptive motivational patterns that underlie their motivations for drinking alcohol. It does so by having respondents name their current concerns in major life areas and characterize each concern along dimensions that reveal the structure of their motivation. A computer program then generates quantitative indices and a motivational profile depicting the respondent's significant motivational features and problem areas. Administration takes 2-3 hours on average. The MSQ can help pinpoint problem drinkers' motivational issues to provide a basis for motivational counseling to change maladaptive patterns. It has been used in research concerned with motivational and volitional factors.
The document describes the development of the Belief in Good Luck (BIGL) Scale. Three studies provided evidence that there are reliable individual differences in beliefs about luck. Some people view luck as a stable force that influences events in their favor, while others see luck as random and unreliable. Belief in good luck was related to beliefs about chance but distinct from other constructs like optimism or self-esteem. The scale predicted positive expectations for outcomes associated with luck, suggesting irrational beliefs about luck can influence expectations of future success.
This document discusses social exchange theory and interdependence theory as they relate to relationships. It covers:
- People seek relationships that provide maximum rewards with minimum costs, and stay only if outcomes remain profitable. Satisfaction depends on outcomes exceeding our expectations.
- Comparison levels (CL) are the standards we use to judge relationship satisfaction, based on past relationship rewards. Comparison levels for alternatives (CLalt) are the best outcomes available elsewhere, determining how dependent we are on the current relationship.
- As time passes in a relationship, CL may rise while outcomes remain the same, risking taking the relationship for granted. CLalt increasing, such as from women's rights, can make relationships unhappier and less
This document discusses evidence-based approaches to facilitating career choices through decision theory. It presents several key aspects of career decision making, including the large amount of information and options to consider, the uncertainty involved, and non-cognitive influences. Several tools are proposed to help structure the complex career decision process, including the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) to assess an individual's challenges, and a three-stage model (PIC) to guide their decision making. The document also discusses developing and validating computer-assisted career guidance systems using theoretical knowledge and empirical methods.
This document discusses interdependence theory and its application to personal relationships. It contains the following key points:
1) Interdependence theory analyzes how people in relationships coordinate outcomes to maximize benefits for both partners, taking into account rewards, costs, comparisons to alternatives, and issues of fairness.
2) Relationships are most satisfying when rewards outweigh costs, outcomes meet or exceed expectations, and the relationship is perceived as fair. Commitment increases with satisfaction but people may stay in dissatisfying relationships due to investments, lack of alternatives, or moral commitments.
3) Self-disclosure, intimacy, power balances, conflict resolution styles, and accommodation versus neglect during dissatisfaction all impact relationship satisfaction and commitment over time according
This chapter discusses interdependence and roles in organizations. It covers types of interdependence like pooled, sequential, reciprocal, and comprehensive interdependence. It also discusses role taking and making, norms and role episodes, communication processes, socialization to new roles, and maintaining quality interpersonal relationships through concepts like equity theory. The key topics covered are types of interdependence, roles and norms, communication barriers, socialization goals and tactics, and responses to inequity.
This document discusses several theories of career development: trait-factor theories which match individuals' abilities to vocations; sociology of career choice which emphasizes social factors beyond an individual's control; developmental/self-concept theory where career choices reflect one's evolving self-image; personality theories linking career satisfaction to personality traits; and behavioral approaches observing environmental influences on career decisions. It also covers needs-based theories arguing occupational choices satisfy psychological needs.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
